I was invited to play the North course of the Los Angeles Country Club--an epic track that is very difficult to get on, especially for a lowly winemaker. But I sold the GM some wine and he invited me out, so I got there at 6:45 am for an 8 am tee time--clubhouse is supposed to open at 7. "My brother and I were stopped for coffee one day," he said,"and he took a big gulp and he looked at me and he says, 'Tell me again why we sell such s****y coffee.'" LOL!Wanna know your own business ??? Always call your own company, always order two or more something from your company, always use one, always return one of them. It sounds so simple and logic, but it's rarely done.Told a customer they were out of paper towels.
Guy comes outside yelling and says 'tell me you weren't standing on that' me: 'I was standing on that' and you watched all the anger leave his face. The money and damage meant nothing to him, likely an insured inconvenience. He thought I'd lie to him and he'd have some justification for the anger.
My wife and I bought a nice house in a middle/slightly upper middle class neighborhood. Not many European cars, parents didn’t send their kids to private schools. Everyone was doing fine, but seemingly not rich. Fast forward 5 months. Frank had paid for the entire family to move to CA for treatment which cost him just over $2.2M out of pocket. The kid was in remission after some next level, Star Trek crazy medical treatment. For a family he didn’t even know. Amazingly enough that wasn’t the extent of it…
She forgot she had bought a Birkin bag that was out of stock at the time and was surprised when they finally shipped it to her.I call BS on this because you can't buy a Birkin"in stock". Buying a Birkin is a years long process, that requires a repeat client to develop a recurring relationship with a sales assistant, that must put forward a request for a Birkin. Separate comment to go through the process, because it's INSANE but also really interesting.
So yeah, the ones in a rather ugly industry are mostly normal, decent people who know their work doesn't help the world much, but who do not go out of their way to harm it; the ones out west who are"changing the world" are depraved sickos. He told me he didn’t look for work and he didn’t do quotes, and he was booked out for the next 10 years with jobs.
Depression. I met various people from extremely wealthy backgrounds , I met by working at a tech startup founded by one of them. They were largely the children of billionaires. I never thought I would enjoy a big a*s wedding like that but I also never thought I’d get to see so many famous people up close either. Hands down incredible. .Normie gets a call from rich friend, Richie. He got tickets to the auto show in town and hasn't seen his friend Normie in a while, so hey lets go!
Had large private beach front “cottage”. Along this strip there was one very small public beach that was looking to improve the parking lot. Anyway, most of the people were really nice. One guy and his wife were concerned that I didn't have an investment plan started. I mean this in a good way. Like they were worried about my future. There were other similar gestures from others that were also well meaning.
He said what are you going to study? I said computer science. He said I know a few successful people in this field that I could get you connected with. I said no. Then for years I made fun of him because I was arrogant and he was working in construction but he wanted to give an advice to me studying computer science.
Not sure it was even legal, but my company was willing to do it anyway for a price of course. And the price of this was astronomical. He didn't care. I said that before here. He, as a kid, had no concept of value of anything. He got some pocket money weekly, and it was higher than mid monthly salary here. He wanted a car while being very, very young . You can't have a licence here until 18, so a seemingly pointless purchase. Parents bought him a new car anyway... a NEW one, not some second hand thingy, so he could learn how to drive. He didn't understand how people could live in an apartment, it was simply beyond him.
especially with teenagers have a lot of access to activities that they can't handle. D***s, alcohol, parties, gross exploitation of workers, etc. Also just not having a relationship with the parents or family. My buddy quits shortly after and the owner pleads for him to stay because he’s a top producer and can’t find anyone else as good as him. Now he’s making more money and winning all the contests at the new dealership that who is also a major competitor of the Dealership he recently quit. Karma again!People with money are just as unsatisfied with life as anyone.
Billionaires are actually some of the coolest guests I've had. They have this alien like attention where if you are engaged in a conversation with them, you get their entire attention. They don't look at anyone else and maintain eye contact in every conversation I've had with them. It's almost scary, but I feel it may be a release for them as they always have vultures surrounding them trying to get a convo in or a favor.
